After the deaths of Alton Sterling, Philando Castile, and Sam DuBose at the hands of police - there was a massive outcry from the public about the use of police force. Black Lives Matter Cincinnati responded on July 10th, 2016 with one of the biggest organized protests in Cincinnati in many years. Several thousand protestors from around the Cincinnati tri-state area marched in the protest.

Protestors started meeting in front of the Cincinnati Police Department Headquarters on Ezzard Charles Drive around 3PM. By the time the protest had officially started at 4PM there were already several thousand protestors in front of the station, while more trickled in continuously over the next few hours.

Among the several speakers at the rally was Brian Taylor (pictured here) a Black Lives Matter organizer in Cincinnati. As well as the mother of Sam Dubose - Audrey Dubose.

Protest marshals were chosen from the protestors before the march started. They wore high visibility vests to be easy to spot and helped keep the march running smoothly, peacefully and as planned.

The march went on to pass part of the central business district and then headed toward Over the Rhine with Washington Park being the end point of the March. As protestors marched through the streets many passing cars honked in support of the protestors.

Protesters marched chanting "Hands up don't shoot" in reference to the police killing of Michael Brown in 2014 in Ferguson Missouri.

As the protest was ending and the final speaker was ending their speech. Thousands of protestors put up their fist as a sign of solidarity.
